FROELICK GALLERY: BOLD ART

One of our first stops in Portland was the Froelick Gallery.

I especially liked the typographic nature of Alfred Harris's work. The collaged paintings beckoned from inside the window. Harris shreds once-organized compositions and reassembles them under glossed resin to create bold, collage paintings. The bold strokes evoke letter forms, layered into analogous palettes. The gallery curator was kind enough to tell us about the Artist's biography and showed a few pieces that were not on display.
